This in effect is Thatcher picking a fight with the NUM in 1979 .

Except she knew she'd lose so chose to strike at a time when she'd won a second term and felt stronger after putting the pieces in place first .

Not only that Johnson is weak , Thatcher wasn't and you need guile and strength to change country's , Johnson and Cummings have neither .

There's some over stating of their abilities here , an attempted coup at best which in my opinion will be quashed and both their careers with it .
He definitely needs to be more diplomatic, he's attacked the right of the Conservative Party as well as the wets, he's attacked the media prior to this, made a lot of enemies, but if you look at his track record, campaigned successfully against joining the Euro, won the referendum campaign against the odds, helped to win an 80 majority for the Tories, who else can take on Whitehall and the vested interests?

The left say he's the "real" PM but the man who really has the most power is Mark Sedwill as head of the Civil Service and Cabinet Secretary and they've not been able to budge him so far.

There is a real battle going on over who rules, the government or the Civil Service but you also have to factor in the UN, the EU, the banks, the big tech companies.
